“You should have been aware of her presence. She was clearly intent on crossing the road.

“She began to cross the road and for some reason which is not clear, she either didn’t notice you approaching or misjudged how long it would take for you to reach her.

“There is no suggestion you were exceeding the speed limit, you were travelling below the 30mph at a speed that was wholly appropriate.

“You should have seen her but you failed to see her and when you did you failed to brake or take avoiding action, simply assuming she would stop. That said, she failed to see you approaching or misjudged the situation.”

Judge Sloan, who imposed a community order with 210 hours of unpaid work, £2,000 costs and a 12 month driving ban, added: “Mrs Gray’s death has had a devastating effect on her family.

“No sentence I can pass could ever serve to ease the pain which her family have suffered and continue to suffer.

“You have no previous convictions, an unblemished driving record and are usually an extremely careful driver.

“It’s clear essentially you are a good man and the incident has had a profound effect on you. It represents a personal tragedy for you.

“The last thing you intended when you set out that day was to take another person’s life.”

Marriner, of Frederick Street, South Hetton, whose partner was also on the bike at the time and who was on his way to an MOT test, said he had not seen Mrs Gray until late and then thought she would stop, so didn’t brake.

Peter Walsh, defending, said Marriner’s vision had been obscured for a time by a car.

Mr Walsh added: “His remorse has been noticed by his friends and family.

“He is of exemplary character and has full-time employment and holds a responsible position.”

After the case, Motor Patrols Chief Inspector John Heckels said: “This tragic incident highlights the devastating effects careless driving can have and our thoughts remain with the family of Mary Gray.

“All road users have a responsibility to make sure they are not putting themselves or other road users at risk and my main priority is ensuring our roads are safer.”
